Russian education minister Sergey Kravstov announced that military training will return to Russian schools from September 2023, according to the MoD update.
It added: “This reprises a Soviet-era programme where students had mandatory military training, a programme which ended in 1993. This training included contingencies for a chemical or nuclear attack, first aid and experience handling and firing Kalashnikov rifles.
The MoD said their Russian counterparts want at least 140 hours per academic year devoted to military training.
“This training likely intends to prepare students with military skills as they approach conscription age and to increase the take-up for mobilisation and conscription drives,” the MoD said.
It's the first time it will have been on the curriculum in 30 years.
